Pay for outcomes. Not seats.
AXIOM charges per skill execution — not per user, not per seat. Every dollar maps to a measurable output: a report generated, a workflow completed, an operation managed autonomously.
How output-based pricing works
No credits, no tokens, no meters ticking down. The monthly platform fee covers your assistant infrastructure. Every output is priced individually at its skill-level rate.
You run a skill
Your assistant executes a skill — from a quick document summary to an end-to-end payroll cycle.
You see the value
The system quantifies what happened: “Your Research skill compiled a competitive brief in 4 minutes. Estimated manual time: 2.5 hours.”
You pay for the output
Each run is priced based on its skill level. Simple outputs cost cents. Complex autonomous operations cost more — because they deliver more.
Five levels. Earn your way up.
Users unlock higher skill levels through demonstrated mastery, not purchases. As complexity grows, so does the business impact — and the value of every run.
| Level | Name | Pricing Model | Price Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Explore | Free / micro-fee per output | $0–$1 per run |
| 2 | Assist | Fixed rate per deliverable | $2–$10 per run |
| 3 | Collaborate | Per workflow outcome | $5–$25 per cycle |
| 4 | Orchestrate | Per business metric | $15–$100+ per run |
| 5 | Autonomous | Per autonomous cycle | $50–$500+ per cycle |

Higher skill levels unlock through demonstrated mastery — not purchases. You succeed before you scale.
